Argon plasma coagulation therapy for ablation of Barrett's oesophagus.
arrett's oesophagus (BO) is undoubtedly associated with an increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. 1 Now that therapeutic endoscopy techniques have improved, it is therefore tempting to ablate Barrett's intestinal metaplasia in order to decrease the risk of tumour development. However , ablation therapy is still controversial , especially for patients having no dysplasia, due to: (1...
متن کاملArgon plasma coagulation
Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) is an application of gas discharges in argon in electrosurgery, which is increasingly used especially in endoscopy. The major application fields are haemostasis, tissue devitalization and tissue reduction.This review describes the physics and technology of electrosurgery and APC. Some characteristics of the argon discharge are shown and discussed, and thermal effe...
متن کامل[Radiofrequency ablation for Barret's esophagus].
Barrett's esophagus consists of the replacement of normal squamous epithelium by a specialised columnar lined epithelium referred to as intestinal metaplasia in the esophagus. It represents a premalignant lesion. The prevalence of Barrett's esophagus is around 1.6%. Esophageal adenocarcinoma results from the development of dysplasia progressing from low to high grade dysplasia and finally adeno...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation in Barrett's esophagus with dysplasia.
BACKGROUND Barrett's esophagus, a condition of intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus, is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. We assessed whether endoscopic radiofrequency ablation could eradicate dysplastic Barrett's esophagus and decrease the rate of neoplastic progression. METHODS In a multicenter, sham-controlled trial, we randomly assigned 127 patients with dy...
متن کاملManaging Barrett’s esophagus with radiofrequency ablation
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a well-established pre-malignant lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma, a condition that carries a dismal five-year overall survival rate of less than 15%. Among several available methods to eliminate BE, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides the most efficient modality, since it has been demonstrated to successfully eradicate BE with or without dysplasia with accept...
